This chain-free second-floor apartment offers a compact, practical two-bedroom home in a sought-after Belmont location. The open-plan lounge/diner and integrated kitchen give a bright, modern feel, with double glazing and gas central heating providing efficient comfort year-round. Allocated off-street parking and well-maintained communal grounds add convenience and curb appeal.
At about 529 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking low-maintenance living rather than large family space. There is one bathroom with both bath and shower; bedrooms are described as double-sized but overall internal space is modest. The flat sits on a managed development close to local shops, regular bus routes and good primary and secondary schools.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 107 years remaining and broadband speeds in the area are reported slow. The apartment is on an upper floor with some restricted headroom in the attic-style layout, and the building is modern (post-2007 construction) which reduces immediate major maintenance concerns.
Overall this is a well-presented, move-in-ready option for a buyer who values location, low upkeep and straightforward living. It offers clear potential for someone looking to get onto the property ladder in a very affluent, well-served neighbourhood.
